I can't get the Mucklemitts out of my head. They're so pretty, and then I got Mary Jane's book (which I'll review before the month is over) which just started a mental gamut -- gamut, I tell you -- of ideas for Fair Isle mitts. And then I started looking at fingerless mitten patterns online, and the lace mitts, the cabled mitts, the mitts with different colors. Gah! Overwhelming.

So as soon as my vest is done, I will make mitts. So here is my next year's Christmas list: everyone is getting mitts! Well, sort of ... I may run out of my mitt mystique and go on to something else, like socks or funny hats or knitted mustaches or something. You never know.
